Copycat Winger’s Sticky Fingers Chicken Recipe

img 11 1

I’m thrilled to share this recipe—one of the best copycat versions I’ve made. These Sticky Fingers come incredibly close to the original Winger’s dish. I tested them against the restaurant version, and my husband said he’d be perfectly happy if we made these at home instead of dining out. They’re that delicious.

With New Year’s Eve tonight, this is an easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer to serve guests. I had everything on hand except the chicken tenders, which are simple to buy and bake. This recipe is quick and irresistible—make it now!

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups brown sugar
  • 6 Tbsp Frank’s Red Hot Wings Buffalo Sauce
  • 4 Tbsp water
  • 15 frozen breaded chicken tenders

Instructions

  • Bake the frozen chicken tenders according to the package directions until golden and cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine the brown sugar, Buffalo sauce and water. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Place the cooked tenders in a large bowl, pour the hot sauce over them, and toss gently with tongs so each piece is coated. Serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side. Enjoy!
